Thursday night, via Twitter, @CA_Dem said “Fired up?” It posted a smiling Obama with the invitation “Join Barack Obama in Orange County” and the instruction to “text ‘Barack’ to 97779 for your chance to win.”

That came amid begging for tickets.

Said one @POTUS44 fan on Twitter: “Anyone get tickets to see Obama in Anaheim or are we all just going to stand outside and wave at him?”

Said another: “OBAMA IS GOING TO BE AT THE ANAHEIM CONVENTION CENTER THIS SATURDAY WHO TRYNA GO ???”

And a third tweeted: “The Democratic campaigns will be distributing the tickets according to the OC Register” but complained: “I wish we, the supporters had been notified.”

I just read that only 750 people will B able to buy tickets for Obama on Saturday at Anaheim- Convention Center. He will speak for 25 minutes. The Democratic campaigns will be distributing the tickets according to the OC Register. I wish we, the supporters had been notified. https://t.co/EuNm3F1Eli

Despite media reports that local congressional campaigns would control precious tickets, a representative of 49th District candidate Mike Levin — seeking the Rep. Darrell Issa-vacated seat — said his office didn’t have tix.

“The event is being hosted by the national party. So local groups/campaigns are unlikely to have much info” on tickets, said the spokesman. “You’ll have to reach out to the DCCC directly.”

On Friday, a spokeswoman for the Democratic Party of Orange County noted the “text-to-win opportunity” but added: “This event was produced by the DCCC and the Obama team with very little public notice because of security concerns. The Democratic Party of Orange County was not part of the planning team.”

Caryn Puma, the spokeswoman, said Saturday’s rally otherwise has no publicly available seats.

“There will be no tickets given at the door,” she said. “Each of the seven ‘hot’ congressional campaigns got an allotment of tickets for their volunteers, and a slim handful were given to the four [Southern California] county parties.”
